They're probably full of birth control hormones, as well.

So it will only be a matter of time before the fish quit reproducing! :lol:

Obviously we need better drug disposal laws.

Obviously you need to better educate yourself on the matter, duh! The problem is human waste and municipal water suppliers don't have the technology to remove that kind of waste. Oh, the tech exists but it's expensive enough to be cost prohibitive for public works. THIS is a real environmental problem that can be fixed with a proper infusion of cash, as opposed to chasing AGW ghosts.

You're pipe dreaming again, Cliffy. 95% of the doctors and pharmacists are honest and ethical. I've probably had 20 doctors in the course of my life and I can't think of one of them whose primary concern was not the health and well being of his/her patients. They are all aware of the addictive qualities of the medication and that is why they set a limit right on the prescription of the amount of use. There's more patients who try to circumvent the rules than doctors abusing them. No doctor has any control over patients who are getting the same prescription filled from multiple doctors and unless they are all filled at the same pharmacy, the druggist has no control. You have to get the hell out of Nakusp for a week and see what's happening in town, they are finding new miracle cures every day.

Hi! TaxSlave


Yeh! You are right with most all points. I first became aware of the problems with drinking water in 2005. I was kinda shocked when first reading about it. Ever since then, I have been saving/storing any story I see in Mouse Land concerning this topic. It is kind of frightening.

Do you mean that your post made no sense to you? Perhaps that explains it.

Would they get carbon taxed for building a carbon filtration system?

I think Pete understood it.

Well this is great - another tourist attraction for the magic mushroom pickers.

You think shrooms are growing far a wide, up and down the wet coast and are found with ease?

In the 25 years I lived their a managed to find 3 cubensis
